It's time for our seventh featured designer in our Designer Inspired Series of pink ribbon welcome mats exclusive to Carpet One Floor & Home. The beautiful, inspired designs just keep coming. Remember, there are 12 designs so we'll be featuring one designer and their inspiration each month. This month we're taking a closer look at the welcome mat design from April Force Pardoe of AFP Interiors.

April's design is inspired by her love for typography. The navy/teal color combo speaks to this year's color trends.

"The teal shapes are made out of the lowercase letter “k” turned and cut apart," says April. "Bold, geographic prints were my inspiration and I love typogra­phy, hence the design from a letter. Navy blue is a favorite color of mine - it’s classic and timeless which is the look I was going for here."

April Force Pardoe is interior designer and owner of AFP Interiors.

"What excites me about my work as an interior designer is the look of absolute delight that shows up on my clients’ faces when they see their finished rooms. Their ‘wow’ reaction lets me know that my listening skills and ability to envision what they could not see, has made a profound and happy impact that will last for years."
